Sorry Shin but its not Artorias. The devs didnt even design his DLC armour when it was released..... its definately the Elite Knight Armour.
Even if it is his shield and sword that doesnt confirm it is him.

And also take into consideration, he's looking upwards. Plume might still be there.

The DLC armour still looks nothing like the Armour on the cover and your pic proves very little.

Did anyone listen to my theory of it being armour that he wore BEFORE he became the abyss walker he probably changed it for ceremonial reasons.

I did and heavily agree, seeing as it looks less ragged yet still highly similar.Kiva the wanderer wrote:Did anyone listen to my theory of it being armour that he wore BEFORE he became the abyss walker he probably changed it for ceremonial reasons.

Look dude I go into arguments expecting to be proven wrong but you have not given me sufficient evidence to change my opinion.
The armours look very different and more like the EKA than Artorias gear (your counter argument being based entirely on speculaation.....)
Artorias is very much so not a leftie as he is shown in the concept art on the cover...
his weapons and armour well thats just speculation as well.

That can be backed. He is a leftie in the DLC, yes, but who's to say he was before traversing the abyss? Hell, everyone except him is a rightie, as far as i know. Besides, this game is ALL about speculation. thats how wee've come to learn so much. Im siding with Kiva, because not a single part of that armor looks like the elite set except the lines on the help, which are on a lot of them, including artorias'.ViralEnsign_ wrote:Shindori wrote:...You just don't wanna accept it's artorias even though it's obvious and I have proven more than sufficient evidence. >_>; Just jelly its not Ciaran. -snapsnaphairflip.-ViralEnsign_ wrote:Shindori wrote:Only thing missing is the plume on his head.

Then again every character in the game uses their right hand they probably started with the left hand being the main hand for wep use but changed it later and Dark souls lore is HEAVY SPECULATION.

and you CAN invert the hands. yeah the actions change.. for the player. Im going with the armor was changed by the abyss, as we can see by the corroded stuff, like the sword and shield, which by god i will use on my artorias build.Kiva the wanderer wrote:Then again every character in the game uses their right hand they probably started with the left hand being the main hand for wep use but changed it later and Dark souls lore is HEAVY SPECULATION.

Also in thecover art the character is facing AWAY from the viewer so that means. His sword is in his left hand his shield in the right so far that tells me that artorias can use BOTH hands as effectively as each other.

Shin, allow me to poke a huge flaw in your theory. Artorias' armor is symmetrical with only the tattered cloak hiding it. You can clearly see that the left pauldron stands out.
The Elite Knight Armor shares the same silhouette as the cover, same number of belts, and the shield isn't the GShOA, seeing as it isn't rounded at the top. And the crest on it looks similar to the crest shield.

I'd actually say that this is Artorias. The fluted armor and cloth-tabard visible and paired with the sword and shield this is the man himself.
But his armor is different now since he has been exposed to the Abyss and has become tainted in the eyes of Gwyn. It is ragged and "darkened" which explains the different looks. The cover art for the ogirinal game could very well be Artorias, which I stronly suggest prior to his descent into the Abyss.
I got his sword now, and amining to get the armor before I kill Gwyn and go into NG+ for the shield. Wish I could get them all in one playthrough though.

Can't find the zoomed out box cover art but the sword has similar spikes like the BKGS. The guy has Elite Knight set and a Crest Shield.

Well, I'm reffering to the Xbox version of the game. That picture from the PS3 version looks more like a knight of Astoria, namely the one that free's your from your cell and later is hollowed in the Asylum.
I'd say mostly based on the look of the armor, the fluted helmet in particular which is not part of the elite knight armor set. This is imho Artorias before his departure into the Abyss.

I'm still going with that is Oscar on the cover, Since the armour is basically the Elite Knight gear, The shield looks like the crest shield, and the fact that in almost all the trailers Oscar has featured so that's my theory.

When he fights his left arm is the one that cannot move! HE IS NOT LEFT HANDED! Nor is there any evidence to prove he is....to my knowledge!

Left handed dude on the cover, left handed silver knight fighting in the intro. God of War's fave armour not known. I'll just leave this here.
(I havent read the thread so sorry if this already came up.)
